Cuppow: Mason Jar Sippy Cup

Greg — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 22:29:51 +0000

Bwahaha, a simple, BPA-free way to turn a canning jar into a sippy cup! I can’t tell if this is real, or the flatout-awesomest Portlandia parody product campaign ever. Someone please spend the $7.99+shipping to find out, then let…

First of all, it’s US Magazine, right? So what do you expect? Except that it gets repeated and retweeted everywhere, with nary a mention of whether it’s true or not. So let’s make this clear, as clear as a…

My Oh My

Wow. Never mind Disney; it’s a miracle any of us survived the 1980s. It was only about halfway through that I realized this: was not a single Mouseketeers in Disney World episode, but a compilation of clips. I can’t…

There’s some actually useful coverage out there of the Detroit Auto Show, and I might even link to some of it. But so far, I haven’t seen anything as entertaining as Joel Johnson’s dig at Ford’s VIP junket for “Mommy…

The Best Dr. Seuss Movie In, What, 20 Years? 40?

Greg — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:53:39 +0000

A video version of Dr. Seuss’s Oh The Places You’ll Go shot entirely at Burning Man? If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Surprisingly, it lacks most nudity. Oh, the Places You’ll Go at Burning Man! dir….

It’s the weekend! Which will now be ruined by freaking out over these news stories from the worlds of parenting, health, science, and whatever: Fetal cells basically stay floating in the mother’s bloodstream forever. It’s called microchimerism. [boingboing, which, hmm,…
